  • I was trying to romance Lae’zel and was a bit taken aback at how blatant and easy it was. It didn’t seem particularly realistic or well done to me. We were basically just traveling companions and then a single dialogue option was enough to initiate romance. I’ve basically never talked to her before so this seemed rather sudden. Perhaps the games assumes a lot of hidden dialogue that travelers would engage in, but when the rest of the game feels realistic it seems out of place. Maybe she is just the type of person that is really open romantically, but considering others have felt the same way about many of the other characters I suspect this is not the writers intention. Then after having intimate relations it seemed to have no relevance to the story and the character didn’t even care that it happened. The intimate scenes themselves were also rather lackluster and didn’t show anything explicit. I’m not sure why the character creation had you so vividly pick what type of genitals you wanted if it was irrelevant to the intimacy scenes.
































  • The plot of the Blame! movie is almost non-existence in the manga. Some elements of it are in there for sure, but I would not consider it even attempting to adapt the manga. But at the same time it doesn’t really matter due to the nature of the manga. Which is basically Killy going on an adventure over an indeterminate extremely long period of time across an indeterminate seemingly infinite distance. Since his adventure is basically endless the events of the movie could conceivably happen at any point in the manga.

    So the only problem with the movie is that it ends. Which means you don’t really understand how endless his journey is.

    I’ve also just never seen Macross. The art always looked beautiful, but I’ve never picked it up because I didn’t understand the concept of the singing in a sci fi setting. I’m sure I would enjoy it whatever is going on, but I’ve had endless other things to watch and read.
